That's just you making too inconsistent of a deck.

you get 5 strikes in a starting deck

You get to the point that you can play around or anticipate most of the things that could come up

until you draw all 5 of the strike cards in your deck while the enemy is about to do 6x7 damage or smth like that

I don't like games like this. If you play too safe you will probably not have the resources for a boss but if you take risks the game can just fuck you over with an encounter not suited to your deck

I'm a huge sucker for "power of belief" style climaxes so watching the Phantom Thieves belief meter hit 100% was awesome.

I do really like the hope-through-the-hopelessness fight for Persona 3.

Persona 4 final fights are easily the least interesting.

Still, Royal dunks on all them with the personableness of a human antagonist IMO.

I dont get it.

Cheap to produce probably

Netflix really fucked up promoting this it pisses me off

This should be the bar, it shouldn't be surprising that stories for children or a general audience have something to say rather than being a cacophony of images and sounds for no purpose

Truly, it was a bizarre adventure

Good series sendoff. Though IMO they never quite reached Great Days again.

It's a grid based tactics game with three classes and randomly generated characters to control. There are nearly no role playing opportunities except one choice between every battle that determines what item or boon you get from an encounter. All the gameplay between the cutscenes (which are drawn randomly from a deck of pre-written ones) is tactics battles or navigating to and from tactics battles on a map.

if they're so strong why did they let the new gods upstage them?

So you guys want the supply chain and economy to get worse than it already is?

The choices are
1) Nothing happens to the supply chain and workers lose their jobs if they get sick
2) Nothing happens to the supply chain and workers don't become homeless for getting sick

Why do you hate railroad workers @Ar0ge?

No because I realize that 'detesting' random people over the manner they waste their own time is a useless and draining exercise.

What happens to the fairy after unbottling them, do you have to eat them

This is nothing new it's been happening as long as I've been aware of politics and I'm sure way longer. Right wing content creation is a hypersonic revolving door where somebody approves of GOP rhetoric, gets promoted paid and a book deal, and then slips the mask about how they support racism/genocide/etc so a search begins for a replacement.

Steel Ball Run needs MOTION.

Crazy Train is shown on the iPod of the final villain of Jojolion but doesn't end up being his stand

This + the only 'reincarnations' were people who died during Stone Ocean as a result of Pucci association. Jolyne is now called Irene because Jotaro and his wife's relationship went a different way from Jotaro being able spend more time on family with Pucci existing.

yusiko posted...

so all the stories from part 1 through 6 got erased and a new timeline started. Part 7 takes place in this new timeline

Are you trolling today? None of this is true. Events not relating to Pucci all still happened and Part 7 is a completely unrelated world.

yusiko posted...

including jotaro kujo making jolenes stort arc of trying tk rescue him pointless

That's not how character arcs work.

yusiko posted...

This final fight between Jolene and the final boss Is off screen but Jolene the hero of the story gets effortlessly beaten and murdered becoming the first jojo to lose their final battle.

like at this point you're intentionally grossly misrepresenting events. this isn't attempted to be portrayed as a final fight but as a heroic sacrifice because Pucci will be able to sense her and kill both of them if she stays with Emporio

I haven't had much interest in part 6 because the ending is one of the worst I've ever seen. So much in fact I started labeling it the manga equalavant of Spidermans 'one more day'.

filtered. not even a worse ending than Jojolion.

P5R Justice rework and Councillor are good. Faith's lack of subtlety is eyeroll tier yes. But Aeon was not better, that new content was outright bad. Grating confidant personality. Worst dungeon in the game. It doesn't improve the story at all, it just adds an unneeded wrinkle between the two god fights, the already least interesting element of P4.

The ski trip stuff with the actual P4 cast is great, but that doesn't need Marie.

Also the same.

Yoshida would have too much sense of duty

Yoshida's some kind of radical though who gave a speech explicitly supporting the thieves' actions

I liked it the first time, but after a while you get the sense that Joker is wildly irresponsible with his secret identity. Legit worse than Ryuji.

I found the romances overall pretty disappointing, especially how they're completely ignored by the main plot.

P5 confidants are way too heavy on Joker solving someone's problem for them so they could tie it to Mementos requests. Makoto's for example you have like one friend date to the red light district and then 8 levels telling her dumb friend that dating a host is a bad idea. Very little real companionship time or just learning about the other person. Though this is actually a place where Akechi performs a lot better than most.

The series went downhill after All Might vs Nomu and the anime is carried by You Say Run

I did some more reflection, and I actually like the Persona 5 Royal version of the send-off ending.

The og P5 ending is very good and heartfelt, just like Yu's send off in P4G and everyone chases after the train.

P5R changes it to a less fortunate scenario where the crew's plan of a perfect driving sendaway is botched and they end up going separate.

That wouldn't fit P5og at all, but it actually makes a lot of sense in P5R because it contrasts with the accept-the-deal ending. This is the reality the phantom thieves chose. Plans don't work out. You can't control the train schedule. You just make the most of what you're left with.

I was also shocked to learn that the original P5 doesn't have the fact that everyone but Yusuke is moving away from that area of Tokyo. I like this change a lot. It's everyone's choice to go and do what is best for them, and they know the relationships they forged will overcome that distance, but also that it's important to keep making new bonds wherever you go.

It's interesting that Sumire is not in the car with everyone, although this is consistent with her characterization. She doesn't directly hang out with the others, and even comments that she feels she is intruding on their space while at Leblanc.

I appreciate that she gets such a low key goodbye to Joker. The game goes pretty hard with Kasumi developing a sort of dependent relationship on him, but the ending indicates she will be able to stand on her own from now on.

"Decisions" is a loaded word and is misunderstood when discussed as pop science.

The hypothesis is just trying to rectify the 50/50 true uncertainty of quantum 'observations' (when a small particle interacts with anything else basically). Instead of there being a "collapse" of the wave function, the idea is it never collapses and just has branches. It's completely un-test-able and speculative.

No, but not because everyone likes the same thing, but because of atomization. Different media and beliefs are far more accessible than ever in history. It is healthier than an 'analog counterculture'.

It looks like a lot of players are declaring they will never play a tournament done by the Panda people again. Wonder if they will stick to their word

What the hell.

I had to make a read only account personally. Really sucks, I did have a work email but now it is deactivated because it was a summer internship.

Thoughts on Akechi coming back as a force ghost? Did you like the new and improved Akechi in general during the Royal portion and new semester?

I think it's really funny that Joker did have a wish granted and it was for Akechi to come back. I would've liked even more screentime with him since he had a really enjoyable confidant and dynamic with Joker. It gets repetitive that almost all confidants are people needing Joker to solve a problem for him, but a lot of Joker/Akechi is just them shooting the shit. Them being the only two to notice the new reality was really cool and it's a great moment when he enters the cafe on the new year and confronts you.

Yukari plots against Mitsuru too

to be fair, most of the Persona 4 cast was annoying because it was a during time when mean-spirited characters were popular in fiction. The group hardly ever felt like friends.

woah this is a hot take. The P4 cast is by far the closest and have the best chemistry.

Ryuji is a good friend and a horrible teammate.
Yosuke is a good friend.
Junpei is kind of a dick. I don't remember a ton of his characterization but I do remember him blaming you for Ryoji which was fucked up.

Personally Yosuke > Ryuji but I do think it's close. Yosuke is annoying when he's trying to pick up the girls but I do like his pairing with Teddie and overall I like his chemistry with everyone. Ryuji is pretty cool when he's alone with Joker, but he bitches about having no street cred way too much and puts the PTs in danger. His spats with Morgana are obnoxious, and Morgana being a dick doesn't excuse Ryuji being a dick.

Yosuke was best early game when he was written differently and didn't care about pussy as much. When Yukiko becomes a party member it rewires his brain or something smh.

Rewatching the boss fight I did remember one thing that bugs me.

Normally a palace boss when highlighted will display their full name, including revealing a wordy middle name often. It feels very ceremonial, like you have truly exposed their true self or have 'named' a demon and taken power over them. But when you fight Maruki, is boss name is simply 'Maruki'. Not even his first name or title.

Normal type is so strange. Like if you look at gen 1, half are just animals like rats that don't have any special affinity. And half are nonsense creatures like Lickitung, Porygon and Chansey.

I have a vivid memory of Rock Throw hitting Pikachu super effective in gen 4

How does electric get the privilege of only one weakness?

Final Fantasy

I only ever played one for about three hours

9 posts was still too long for this to get mentioned. Final Fantasy is as generic as it gets.
